So just in case you haven’t heard, the Nintendo Wii is now compatible with Netflix. A few days ago we were informed that our Netflix disc for the Wii was in the mail. Today, it came.

It’s. Fucking. Awesome.

I know the Xbox 360 has the same capabilities, but I’ve never even touched an Xbox so I had no clue what instant streaming movies was like. It’s fantastic! Within twelve seconds I was enjoying “A Nightmare on Elm Street” on our not-flat-screen television! Amazing!

I swear, I’ve seen a lot of technology get introduced over the past 33 years but very little of it has impressed me like this. Sure, the iPhone. And the Swiffer. But other than those two things, this might be the best goddamn invention since the Greek orgy.

The future truly is here, folks; and it brought Robert Englund with it.

They also used the school and its football field in “Grease,” and it was also the school where Van Halen got “Hot for Teacher.”

And tying it all together is this photo:

This is a picture of the first Disney Studios that was located on Hyperion Avenue. If you look in the background of the photo, directly in the center you can see John Marshall High School which, having just been built in 1931, was brand-spanking-new.

So there’s a ton of history going on all within one block, from Freddy Krueger to Mickey Mouse. Pretty damn cool indeed.
